-gameless love-
freestyle

If I was able to give you the world --
Not a globe, not a map, but the world --
Would you take it?
Or would you ask for more?

If I were to kiss you on your lips, your throat
Your breasts,
Would you give in?
Or push me out the door?

If I were to jump in front of your window
While you were reading a book,
Would you take a look?
Call me a crook?

If I climbed the highest tree I could find,
Picked the sun from the sky,
Lay it burning on the ground,
Would you tell me to come back down?

If I told you love was four clouds in the sky,
Surrounding the sun that I picked and was gone,
Would you cry?
Or just lie?

first--release
idea of dice
twice because
it's twice as nice...
Thrice for three
which is the charm
Four, for keepers
of the dawn...
Five breathes you
alive and then...
Six baptises
you in Styx...
Seven would be,
if it could,
and Eight, eternal,
cancels "should"--
Nine is but a man complete,
to start with Zero at his feet...

one for you luvie...hope ya didn't mind...

unique style, bsquirrel ... edgy form and flow ...  i like ...

My calling before me, let quill be my offering;
For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

I love your wording in this poem....your unusual thoughts are beguiling.
